Convert Interbase Blob to Text

rbuser

Hi,

I need to write a code like this:

lblTitle.visible = MYPIPELINE['SOMEBLOBFIELD'] <> '';

SOMEBLOBFIELD is a interbase text blob field (BLOB SUB TYPE 0). It is not
working, it seems that the conversion to string will always result in ''. I
worked arround by putting a TppDBMemo, setting it's visibility to false and
using the dbMemo.Text, but I wonder if is there any other more elegant way
to do that.

Thank you in advance.

Try the following

lsFieldValue := myPipeline.FieldObjects['SomeBlobField'].AsString;

The myPipeline.FieldObjects[] provides access to the TppField object. The
TppField object has an AsString function.
